Penderyn Peated Single Malt Welsh Whisky. Penderyn, Wales. ABV: 46.00%. Tasted at my mate Joel’s place, $79.35 (bottle).
Colour: Very pale straw. One of the palest drams I’ve had.
Nose: Grassy notes, medicinal scents, a hint of smoke.
Palate: Clean entry, soft peat kicks in & builds a moment after you take a sip.
Finish: Quite short, not a heavy smokey aftertaste. Slight sweet taste when you lick your lips afterwards.
Comments: I have to disagree with another Welsh export, Tom Jones – it IS a little unusual. Particularly the nose. Quite pleasant though, not sure that I’d race out to buy another bottle again, but would be happy to have another dram or two.
